Somewhere In The Night is the placeholder name for an unidentified AOR song, originally recorded in the 1980's - 1990's. It is most likely written by Eric Pressly and Ken Rose, but the full version has yet to be found and the vocalist is still unidentified.

HISTORY

The song was first posted to WatZatSong on 27 November 2020, by user gymforma. He didn’t provide any information about the songs origins, stating only "Friends let's see if we can find this musical rarity, thank you all".

On 28 August 2022, OP gymforma shared a slightly longer 33 second recording of the song. He added that he got the song from a collector who has since been identified as NimzoAOR.

On 13 June 2024, a collection of "mix" videos were found by Discord user Floptok, uploaded by user funky_vinyls_records to DailyMotion. One of those videos, uploaded on 23 May 2008, contained a longer 47 second snippet of the song.

On 05 February 2025, user funky_vinyls_records was contacted. They clarified that they had originally downloaded the song from a blog post on a forum dedicated to AOR music, and that it was part of a soundtrack.

On 23 May 2025, Discord user Kutsu discovered a copyright registry for a song titled 'Somewhere In The Night' by Ken Rose and Eric Pressly, which was submitted in 1988 under SONY ATV Canada.

Ken was contacted by Discord user CimozzenKP, who said:

“That’s definitely our song, I have a very vivid memory of it because I was only sixteen years old and that is the first song I ever got signed with. It has to be from the demo Eric and I had floating around. I sadly can’t remember her name, but I have a vivid picture in my head to the singer. She was a one-off who sang on that song for me and nothing else. I’m glad to hear you’re also in touch with Eric’s family and their estate, so hopefully they may have something for you”
